Why Work?
If you like to drink heavily, blow mounds of cocaine, have more money than you know what to do with, and never have to work again, then Bluefields Island might be for you.
Bluefields is an island off the coast of Nicaragua located directly between the cocaine labs of Colombia and the 300 million noses of the United States.
Everyday, cocaine smugglers using very small, very fast boats try and shoot undetected to the States, but when the Coast Guard swoops in, the traffickers toss the cocaine and cash overboard, both to eliminate evidence and lighten their load in an escape attempt.
Those bales of cocaine float, and the currents bring them west right into the beaches and cays which make up the huge lagoons that surround Bluefields.
Everyday, the 50 thousand inhabitants of Bluefields comb the beach searching for the “White Lobster.” On average, they find 35 kilos of cocaine a day along with tens of thousands of cold wet cash.
Which only makes me wonder, why am I at work today?
